As I am currently on holidays - I did the following (too much time and the work fernetmenta gave me is a bit hard at 30 degrees :p):
Don't tell the following things to anyone:
I installed the 13.8-beta1 fglrx driver and saved: libAMDXvBA.so.1.0 and libAMDXvBA.cap from /usr/lib/fglrx to a 64 bit directory and the same two files from /usr/lib32/fglrx to a 32 bit directory.
I then whiped the 13.8 installation and installed the 13.6 version (the one that needs VSYNC = Always enabled to have smooth menus) and has the CABAC=NO problem. I then replaced the mentioned files in /usr/lib/fglrx and /usr/lib32/fglrx and guess what: CABAC=NO files are working again.
So - at least we can "copy" a working catalyst together ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

You clearly need to check the copyright for those files! You can't just distribute them.

I edited above, it was: amd-catalyst-13.8-beta1-linux-x86.x86_64.run instead of amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-8-beta1-x86.x86_64.run

Mixed Catalyst tested both on iMac with i5 and Radeon 6600M and on HTPC with A10-5600
Both are working.

It seems like my board (E45M1-I Deluxe, AMD E450 series) has a general problem with the propriety drivers.
I'm using the PPA:xorg-edgers video drivers right now.
Sorry if this question seems ignorant, but does this package give better performance when using the opensource drivers, too?

But it doesn't hurt either right? So if I'm trying a future fglrx driver I can easily switch and use the package for both.

Clarify what "package" you mean.
